PELOPONNESOS. Arkadia. Arkadian League. AR Hemidrachm (2.90 gms), Megalopolis Mint, ca. 330-275 B.C. NGC Ch VF, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 5/5.

HGC-5, 929; BCD Peloponnesos-I, 1526. Obverse: Laureate head of Zeus left; Reverse: Pan seated left on rock, raising hand and holding lagobolon; monogram to left, X to right. Despite being mislabeled by NGC as a later type, this piece was struck to an early weight standard. Very attractive, this example is deeply toned with a rich and dark color and has an attractive pattern of wear. This appealing specimen is a nice piece for the type and a more affordable piece of Salton's collection.

From the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection.
